Susan Jamison's paintings are painted with tempera egg, in a precise and detailed style that shuns the shadow to light, the use of soft colors and charcoal create a sense of indefinite or infinite space. The Jamison draws inspiration from many sources: the Renaissance portraiture, botanical and scientific illustrations, the Persian miniatures and fashion design. In compositions, female bodies are covered with pink embroidery as to associate the extreme femininity of lace to the vitality of the circulatory system. The figures appear to be cut and the individual members are as isolated parts of the body around which animals and plants chosen for their symbolic associations as well as household equipment: scissors, needles, threads and lace, all of which contribute to stress extreme femininity from an interior and an exterior venous voluptuous.
